I stepped out of the house to pick up some Chinese takeout and while I was waiting I tried again just out of curiosity. Boom, it started to update (although at the speed of smell as I was in a VERY weak signal area.) So either it was finally just 'my time' or not being on wifi was actually preferred for this update.

As for the update itself it went flawlessly. I was running stock, non-rooted. I'm waiting for the latest rash of updates to die down before I consider rooting (not so much for custom ROMs but mostly just for wifi hotspot functionality.)

Just got mine and updated fine. No problems so far.
[Epic 4G General] mmason30022:
Got mine at 4:15 today in Atlanta. On stock EB13 non-rooted went to EC05. The low light video lag seems to be a lot better and on the down side there is still a slight checkerboard effect on some websites. Much better over all, I don't have the bad battery drain like some users and I think Sprint ID is fine. Now that the drama is over I am surprised at all the different stories folks were getting from customer service, tech and the Sprint stores, on Saturday I went to a Sprint store to try to get the video fixed and was told EB13 was the finale build. Just my 2 cents.

I got mine about the same time in Atlanta, sorry I'm surprise to see someone in the same city as i .

Just got my update OTA! Downloaded EB13 from Samsung's site a few weeks ago. My phone really does feel a bit more "snappy" than before.
[Epic 4G General] jktelleson:
Got my OTA update today around 10pm in San Diego, CA, from stock EB13.

Oh and if your device is rooted these updates wont install correctly, why is this shocking to people? That is the inherent downside of rooting.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Just got my update to EC05 coming from EB13 in Orlando, It failed because of root, but I got it to working using the update from the other thread. Cheers!
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
Incorrect, at least technically speaking. The update will wipe out root when it runs properly of course and require re-rooting after the fact if you need it, but root alone doesn't prevent the update. Trying to update with ClockWorkMod however will result in a failed attempt. Reverting back to stock recovery fixes that, then you can One-Click back to root + CWM after the fact.

I posted a video on how to update to ec05 from eb13. Look through the general section and find the how to video thread.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
I am rooted with CWM 2.5, no custom rooms nor kernels. I got my notification, pushed install and when the phone rebooted, it got stuck at the Samsung screen. I fired up Odin and I thought I flashed a stock kernel that would remove root but nothing changed, including things like Wireless Tether still working properly. I booted into CWM again and selected the default recovery but it never shows up, just sits at the Samsung screen. How do I reinstall the default recovery?
[Epic 4G General] kazooguy:
11:05 am EST. Just used the app market to update Flash Player and when found that EC05 was updating from stock EB13. No problems other then the update did put a lot of drain on the battery. Pluged it into the carger and everything seems great.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I'm shocked that I feel so content.
[Epic 4G General] ExploreMN:
I got it working finally as well. The fix for me (and maybe others) was that I reinstalled EB13 using the Samsung upgrade tool. Since the ONLY thing I had done was to root the phone using the one-click root method version 2.55, this lateral "upgrade" did nothing more than un-root the device.

After that the OTA update installed without a problem.

So far so good too. Haven't had any of the problems I had with EB13, but then again its only been a day.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
See this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12476853&postcount=34

Also download a copy of the update and rename it update.zip and put it into the root of your SDcard. Boot into stock recovery and run the update.zip from there to update your phone. I also had to flash back a stock kernel (via ODIN) because I was running mkasick's camera lag fix kernel and when I tried to run the update it would fail and I deduced it was due to the modded kernel. After I reverted back to the original stock kernel, i was good to go on the updat
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
I had a similar problem stuck at the little ! with Android guy,

yeah, not sure you can get to stock, I tried to get to stock recovery, but couldn't get there either.

Your on EB13 right? I was rooted also with 2.5 CWM, same thing happened to me when trying to update.

What I did:

download EB13 to EC05 update from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012346

Rename it update.zip

Then shut off phone,

Boot into CWM recovery.

Select - Install Zip from SDCard

Select Apply SDcard:Update.zip

(Not sure why but it doesn't work when you select Apply update from first CW Screen.)

That is what worked for me.

I was EB13 completely stock + root

Now on EC05 rooted.

Good to know. Wife's Epic has EB13 after an initial dicey update to DK28 (then Odin back to DI18). However, I noticed this week she hasn't been able to even do a Profile or PRL update at all ("unknown error"). I'm wondering if her phone is already in non-stock no-man's land, at least until she can get an OTA for EC05...

If still not the full stock tar it is pre rooted with cwm in it.Thats not a bad thing but I for one would like to have the stock tar itself not rooted and with the stock recovery so I can root it myself.So there is a real odin tar out there somewhere.

[Epic 4G General] _-Jay-_:
Let's say they put out an EB13 -> EC05 update OTA, would I still get it even if I am rooted with CWM? I did the manual upgrade to EB13 from the Samsung website when it came out, then rooted afterwards to run certain mods. I'd prefer not to have to go back to DI18 if I don't need to to get the EC05.

[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
A bunch of friends of mine are around San Francisco, Oakland, bay area CA and we all have EB13 with NO notification to update yet. The way I see it, we'll get it sooner or later...at least we have Froyo now. It's not like we're waiting for Gingerbread. It's just Sprint ID and minor fixes. No big deal. Also...at least we're not verizon fascinate users (absolutely NO news of froyo at all OUCH!)
[Epic 4G General] Duratime:
Looks like it worked like a charm. I have EC05 now. Didn't lose any of my data. Still have root too! Thanks for the link.

I just tried it and it worked. Keeps all data & settings. I was on stock EB13 w/root and had deleted some of the stock apps.

I got a text about Sprint ID yesterday, and the Sprint Zone thing notified me of a update coming soon. "Soon" is pretty vague when dealing with Sprint and Samsung, so I used odin for the first time, I was on EB13 with root, now I'm on EC05 with root. I didn't have any other mods, only rooted for access to the battery stats bin so I could delete them, and help with the battery meter, not sure that even works, but it was worth a try.

i think ec05 is much like eb13 in that a very small amount of users will get it and sprint will pull it. Then sprint can say that they did in fact release two updates to fryo.

I couldn't wait anymore.....ran home during lunch and did this. Previously I was on the stock eb13 rooted with 2.5.

I went rather reckless...didn't do any backups or wipes.....works great!!!!

To be honest, the only reason I know it worked is cause I now have SprintID(haven't tried it yet) and my "about phone" screen shows that I'm FROYO.EC05. There hasn't been any performance increases or decreases that I've noticed. All my apps still work. All data seems to still be entact.

[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Just tired of people whose first posts on the forum are spreading Samsung BS. It's the same crap that's been told to us from day one. Having it said again does jack for anyone. They keep playing with people, saying updates are already being issued, and it's a lie. It's hard to not to question someone who has a couple posts spreading these lies. Every single 'deadline' they've stated has come and gone, and there are still zero results.

Reps keep lying, techs keep lying, and it all starts at the top. They refuse to be honest, and yes, it's very annoying.
[Epic 4G General] GlassGorilla:
There's no doubt NoSoMo's posts the past couple days have been annoying me, but I think more than anything because I knew what he was saying was probably true. I wanted to believe... and he was killing my hope. But as per usual for Sprint and/or Samsung and/or whomever else is to blame, it turns out it was just hope. My deep down cynical reasonable logical inner self (aka NoSoMo) was trying to give me reality, but I ignored it for unwarranted optimism.

Okay, now, that's a bit of a dramatic analogy for a software update to a cell phone, but he was only telling us what we didn't want to hear and we didn't want to hear it because we knew it was probably true.

Oh well. I hope he gets proven wrong in the near future, but I'm done betting against him.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Agreed. Although one thing that still bothers me a little. The fact that he thinks they're all "lying". Lying would knowing in advance that something is not going to work and promising it would. Yes, they have made many false predictions, but not "lying". There's no conspiracy going on here that the reps and developers are promising something just to piss everyone off. No. They promise something they BELIEVE will be the case, and gives hope to the users on the receiving end. Unfortunately, we've been unlucky for a while now. But, need I remind you that they have kept their word in the past: People got EB13 within the four days successfully. Sure they pulled it, but it's still a newer version of FroYo right? That they PROMISED? I understand your fury for the false hope and predictions both Sprint and Samsung give, but jeez, we're all human. Everyone in the company is human. We've been affected by their mistakes; we weren't lucky. Big deal. You don't need to go bashing on them on every single post which 1. pisses others off, and 2. unnecessary. I agree with you; Samsung and Sprint are very poor at their services, but what are you going to do? It's not the end of the world. So please, I understand why you're upset and believe me I am too, but getting pissed off on a forum demolishing everyone's optimism? Not really necessary.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
A lie for example is stating that "Every phone will be updated by midnight on the 23rd".

Another example is stating that ALL previous versions are now receiving updates.

Why is it so difficult to just be honest in the first place, beats me. They're creating tons of aggravation from people in thinking that they honestly are actually sending out what they say they are, and will do so in the time frame stated.

I Guess those responsible for issuing such false statements didn't take into account just how many people use the internet, and that they would all talk to each other dispelling the lies.

I know they lie, so many seem to have not figured it out though. Why with each statement issued people seem to think "well this time it will be different! certainly they're not lying again!"......I don't get it..

Seriously though, look at the people that posted what's at the top of this page, both here and on the sprint forum. They keep posting THE SAME THING, yet NOBODY has the update. These people all have a handful of posts. Now there is some wishful thinking going on that some people are getting the updates, just nobody on any of the forums. Now, we all know this to not be the case. Within hours of an update going live, handfuls of people start posting about it. However, not having a single person state they've got the update says a whole lot more than the same junk statement being posted by all of the forum newbs.

Your point is valid. Clearly you are frustrated. However, it wasn't a troll. That user is a Sprint Admin, and is a rep from Sprint, not a regular user (pic below). That being said, you are correct. Until it rolls and people confirm it doesn't mean much.

One thing it does mean they communicating that they will be providing a way to go from EB13 to EC05.

I hardly doubt a carrier and manufacturer couldn't do that upgrade, and in fact know that they can. But anyhow, it's beyond arguing, just trying to provide some info since no one had posted from sprint (until this admin did on their forums) if EB13 > EC05 would be a reality, instead of ODIN to DI18 then upgrade.
